If you want to go to a church where the hook is that no one knows anyone, or where everyone knows everyone; if you think that priority of your church from the pulpit to the pews is the latest spiritual fad; if you want to hear people fight over buzz words like "missional", "Rob Bell", or "emergent"; if you want your pastor's most qualifying feature to be that people generally like him and that he's a decent public speaker; if you want a sunday morning rock concert, and light show; DO NOT come to St. George Greek Orthodox Church.
The Orthodox Church is the very same Church founded and headed by Christ that was established at Pentacost nearly two millenia ago. Our theology wasn't invented to fit our particular cultural, political, socio-economic, or ethnic biases. It was revealed. We did not schism from some pre-existing church in order to compensate for some abuse or theological error. To the contrary, our dogmas have never changed.
St. George is one of two churches in Albuquerque that are canonical parishes of the ancient Christian Church. The Orthodox Church is a spiritual hospital for sinners and at St. George, that's exactly what you'll find, sinners. We are people in need of healing and Christ has offered humanity healing through The Church. At St. George you will find a diverse community of people corporately celebrating and receiving the grace of God by participating in the sacraments. We do not always do everything correctly, but by the grace of God, we want to be lights in a dark world proclaiming the mystery the Gospel of Jesus.
If you are looking for a church where you can know others and be known, where the priority from the altar to the narthex is union with God, where you'll be hard pressed to find parishioners debating the merits of Calvin, Luther, Spurgeon, Edwards et. al., If you want to worship God in a Liturgy that is officiated by a priest whose ordination can be traced back to the Apostles themselves, if you want to participate in a mystical union with God that transcends whatever fad may be popular now, then by all means visit St. George. The power of God to forgive us and reconcile us to himself is alive and well in the Orthodox Church.
